SUMMARY:Art Show: Heart's Awakening
DESCRIPTION:The presented body of work emerged out of the collective and personal turbulence beginning with year 2019\, leading to a search for a spiritual path.  \nThe work has been fueled by the meditation practice\, being in the moment\, as well as the need to find a center. \nLooking for depictions of compassion and hope\, I became fascinated with the images of creation\, expansion and regeneration\, and the image of Green Tara\, fully enlightened female Buddha\, the actuality of compassion and wisdom. \nThese oil paintings are complimented by a series of ephemeral smoke drawings\, a meditative technique called fumage\, evoking East Asian calligraphy and ink painting. \nAlicja Pulit is a Polish-American multidisciplinary artist and a resident of Evanston. You may reach her via her Instagram @be_more_specific or email: pulitalicja@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Sunday Sangha
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Sangha led by Meditation Program Director\, Nancy Floy\n10:00am – 12:00pm (via Zoom until early May 2026) \nNancy will lead us in a few simple Buddhist chants and a guided meditation. Following meditation\, we will return to our new text\, Interbeing: Fourteen Guidelines for Engaged Buddhism by Thich Nhat Hanh. “Socially-engaged Buddhism” has become something of a buzzword in among many sanghas\, but what exactly does it mean? More importantly\, how do we practice it? Thich Nhat Hanh\, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk\, created these practices to help people develop the insight of the interconnected nature of reality and the human experience\, which could then lead to a collective awakening. \nContact Larry Akey\, (Lakey0752@gmail.com) for key code to enter building or further information.

SUMMARY:Sunday Sangha
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Sangha led by Meditation Program Director\, Nancy Floy\n10:00am – 12:00pm (via Zoom until early May 2026) \nNancy will lead us in a few simple Buddhist chants and a guided meditation. Following meditation\, we will return to our new text\, Interbeing: Fourteen Guidelines for Engaged Buddhism by Thich Nhat Hanh. “Socially-engaged Buddhism” has become something of a buzzword in among many sanghas\, but what exactly does it mean? More importantly\, how do we practice it? Thich Nhat Hanh\, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk\, created these practices to help people develop the insight of the interconnected nature of reality and the human experience\, which could then lead to a collective awakening. \nContact Larry Akey\, (Lakey0752@gmail.com) for key code to enter building or further information.

SUMMARY:Sunday Sangha
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Sangha led by Meditation Program Director\, Nancy Floy\n10:00am – 12:00pm (via Zoom until early May 2026) \nNancy will lead us in a few simple Buddhist chants and a guided meditation. Following meditation\, we will return to our new text\, Interbeing: Fourteen Guidelines for Engaged Buddhism by Thich Nhat Hanh. “Socially-engaged Buddhism” has become something of a buzzword in among many sanghas\, but what exactly does it mean? More importantly\, how do we practice it? Thich Nhat Hanh\, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk\, created these practices to help people develop the insight of the interconnected nature of reality and the human experience\, which could then lead to a collective awakening. \nContact Larry Akey\, (Lakey0752@gmail.com) for key code to enter building or further information.

SUMMARY:Welcome Spring! 🌷 5 Element Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Spring equinox is just around the corner! What seeds will you plant in the nourishing soil of your heart? What is your vision for growth? How will you spread your branches wide and blossom? \nThe Wood element\, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine\, is often regarded as the military general\, or in modern terms\, the CEO. Its energy is visionary\, decisive and commanding. It gives us the capacity to make positive choices that lead us in the direction for filling our utmost potential. But there’s also another way to look at this Wood element energy. It can also be described as a wise and loving parent\, a parent who knows how to support and direct the energy of their children. As a parent\, the Wood energy guides and is upheld by the ethics of knowing what is ultimately in one’s best interest and in the best interest of the greater whole. Like bamboo\, Wood gives us flexibility to change when things don’t go according to plan and allows us to bend and not break. \nJoin this workshop to learn more about the Wood Element and gain practical tools to harmonize and align with the vitality of the Springtime. Participants will learn the theoretical framework of how Wood energy moves in your own body and mind\, and the best practices to make good use of this energy. We are made of all of the elements and I’m excited to share with you more of the wisdom\, medicine and energy of this season. \n \nSunday\, April 16th  \n1:30pm CST \nONLINE + recording available for those who want to join but are unable to attend live\n$30 – Register Here. \n\n\n[display-posts post_type=”practitioners” include_content=”true” display-posts wrapper=”div” image_size=”full” id=”18482″ order=”ASC” orderby=”name”]
